   I went to this camp 64.65,66,and a month in 67. Does anyone remember the camp   
   song "aluetta, jaunty aluetta? The camp director Art would sing it at   
   breakfast and get us all going. I remember the plates of buttered toast,   
   scrambled eggs. pancakes and    
   bacon and oatmeal we had. The canoe trips the swimming, the crafts including   
   copper enameling I made my Dad a pair of cuff links. The "new cabins were nice   
   with bunks and screens on the window. The outhouses with the new ablution   
   system.   
   The dirt pathways we would sweep with a corn broom to get everything spic and   
   span for cabin inspection. We would get points and try and beat the other   
   cabins. Capture the flag. The "girls camp" across the way which we never   
   raided but talked about it a    
   lot. It was a great time of my life. The first times away and independent from   
   my parents even though we looked forward to the care package that would come   
   in the mail. It was a halcyon time in my life.
